About Key zones, Assigned and Unassigned

Samples

When you load samples and rearrange your key mapping, you will often end up

with samples that are not assigned to any key zone. In the following texts we re-

fer to the samples as follows:

• Assigned samples are samples that are currently assigned to one ore more

key zones.

• Unassigned samples are samples that reside in the sample memory, but that

are currently not assigned to any key zone.

Adding Sample(s) to a Key Map

If the sample hasn’t been loaded yet

1. Select a key zone.

This can be empty, or contain a sample - it doesn’t matter for now.

2. Use the Sample Browser to add one, or several (see below), sam-

ple(s).

The following will happen:

D If the zone contained a sample prior to loading, this will be re-

placed, both in the zone and in the sample memory, unless the

sample was also used by another key zone, in which case it will be

kept.

D If you loaded several samples, one of the samples will be assigned

to the key zone, and the other samples will be loaded but remain

unassigned.

If the sample is already loaded but unassigned

1. Select a key zone.

This can be empty, or contain a sample - it doesn’t matter for now.

2. Use the Sample knob to dial in the sample you want the key zone to

play.

Setting the Root Key

Once you have defined a key zone, and added a sample, you should set the root

key for the sample.

D Select the key zone the sample belongs to, and click on the key you

wish to set the root key to.

Which key to select is normally determined by the pitch of the sample. For

example if the sample plays a F#2 guitar note, click on F#2.

✪ Note that it is possible to select a root key outside the key zone, if

required.

Removing Sample(s) from a Key Map

D To remove a sample, select the zone it belongs to, and then select

“Delete Sample” from the Edit or context menus.

The sample is removed from the zone and from sample memory.

D To remove a sample from a key zone/map, without removing it from

memory, you can either select “No Sample” with the Sample knob

for that zone, or simply replace it with another sample in the same

way.

Removing All Unassigned Samples

D To remove all samples that are not assigned to any key zone, select

Delete Unused Samples from the Edit menu.

Rearranging Samples in a Key Map

There is no specific function for rearranging or trading places between samples

and key zones. Simply select a key zone and change the current sample assign-

ment with the Sample knob.

Setting Sample Level

For each key zone you can set a volume level, using the Level button below the

display. If the transition between two key zones causes a noticeable level differ-

ence, this parameter can be used to balance the levels.

Tuning Samples

Sometimes you might find that the samples you wish to use in a key map are

slightly out of tune with each other. This parameter allows you to tune each sam-

ple in a map by +/– half a semitone.

D Select the key zone(s) that contains the out of tune sample(s), and

use the Tune knob below the keyboard display.
